GTA 5 - Past DLC Vehicle Customization - Karin Kuruma (Evo X)

Welcome back to the series where I customize and review OG, and older DLC Vehicles from late 2015 and older that I was never able to make videos on. The reason I make these videos on these older cars is to provide my opinion on how they currently stack up to newer ones in-game. And ultimately, help you better decide on whether or not you should buy them when/if they go on sale.

Class - Sports
Drive-train - AWD
Primarily Based On - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

The kuruma is such a great looking car for it's age

[@dybixs1400]

Is so sad Rockstar doesn't give that much love to evos in GTA. This is the only true evo in the game, the Sultan, Sultan RS and Sultan Classic are mostly Imprezas and Toyota Altezza with older Evo parts. I would like to see a Kuruma Retro but I guess the Sultan Classic is enough for rockstar... :(

[@alexlyon3833]

In the future hopefully they add a modern wrx and an old evo to the game, for the sake of my friends. I got the 370z this update so im happy lol

[@BrunoLate98]

The thing is that the Kuruma "retro" is a dodge neon (maybe got the model wrong) because if they do it, it'd be more like a retro to GTA 3

[@NeedForMadnessAuto]

Focusing on Mustangs too much is very stupid

[@yallugly4317]

Best you can do is make the sultan classic an EVO 4-6

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again they need to add a proper older school Evo to the game with good customization. They’ve neglected Mitsubishi for far too long, and whenever they do add a Sultan it’s always in favor of Subaru which is annoying as hell. Please Rockstar 🙏🏼🥺

[@sunshifty]

They are going to patch it, but I think if you get the car before patch that it will stay that way, just like everything else they patch. Like if you put F1 or benny's wheels on your car, they stay on your car, they patch it so you can’t do it anymore but it doesn’t get removed, from your car, so I assume it will be the same for the Kuruma.
